A quick definition of peace, justice of:

A Justice of the Peace is a local judge who can handle small legal issues like minor crimes and civil disputes. They can also perform simple legal tasks like administering oaths and marrying people. They are sometimes called J.P.s for short.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A justice of the peace is a local judicial officer who has jurisdiction over minor criminal offenses and minor civil disputes. They also have the authority to perform routine civil functions such as administering oaths and performing marriage ceremonies. They are often abbreviated as J.P. and should not be confused with a magistrate.

Example: If someone is caught speeding or committing a minor traffic violation, they may be brought before a justice of the peace to face charges and receive a fine or other punishment. Additionally, if two neighbors are having a dispute over property lines or noise complaints, they may seek the help of a justice of the peace to mediate and resolve the issue.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how a justice of the peace has the authority to handle minor legal matters and disputes within their local community. They are often seen as a more accessible and informal alternative to higher courts and can help resolve issues quickly and efficiently.
